7 days.

the work corner. filled with love smiles and laughs with my faves.

It's now officially been 7 days of my graduating year.
Taking into consideration how hard (and efficiently) RSID usually rapes us
we seized every opportunity to have a good time while there's still some life
and summer joy in us....

DAY 1-- Tuesday
Starting our first day off with $4 mixed drinks.... with the most GORGE
weather outside for our first fam patio lunch this year....

Only issues were...
1. the stench of garbage lingered around the entire lunch time
2. There were bees MUTANT insects suicide bombing our food...

but we had bee extinguisher Vee Kwan capture them all, ninja style, in glass cups.
(yup, no lies, they're in there)

&& of course, unexpected Jaager shots @ 2:00pm.

DAY 2-- Martini Wednesdays.
summary:
all 13 of us were asked to "shut up" cause we were scaring
away the other tables apparently.... we ruined some poor couple's first date
(swear there was no second one coming annnywayss) and all left
happier than everrrrrr spending only $3.99 for each martini.

DAY 3- Eatin & feel FRESH
After a 5pm class Mars, Jujubee, Supark & i decided to dinner adventures
to a place where all vegetarians would holler in joy...'Fresh'Su's Health Plate... Falafel, Pita, Couscous, Hummus & 3 dipping sauces
JuJuBee&I's...
Miso Burger (special points*miso gravy)
Thai Burger (special points*peanut sauce)
..& a side of sweet potato fries to share =)

Respectable prices and pretty darn amazing food, this is a "please be sure to visit
in T.O." / "you will def return after 1st time" place.
&&& we finished off the night by going to Century Room + late night Frans.

DAY 4
Decided to be half productive with the Geefs & Su @ the Rye library.
Coffee Plus-ed it up at night with some lovebugs uptown.

DAY5
I decided to try out how hard I could be....
Guns are a LOT louder than I expected them.
New found appreciation for 50 and getting attacked by those things
9 times..... eeeeeeeek

no. noo. NOOOO.
NO ONE was killed in the process. I can't believe how many million
people asked me that.... douches.

...OH YA. n the PARTTAYYY in the loo-serville @night.
sad side note: the battery to the camera is M.I.A....must retrieve/replace soon.

DAY6
Recovery.
.
.
Highlight of the day: Frangelz screaming on the phone...
why? James Franco @ Ryerson Theatre.
...HELLLOOO BEAUTIFUL.

DAY7--AKA yesterday
school's officially kicking in.
reality checked.

self-fizzling.

San Pellegrino, Perrier, just 2 of my guilty pleasures.
Sparkling water is definitely not worth the prices they are on the shelves
but what do you do when their fizzy-ness is just too alluring to turn down?

MAKE YOUR OWN.
That's right, we can pretty much do anything in our kitchens now.
Make your own soda/pop. 'SODASTREAM' claims to be able to
turn any tap water into carbonated goodness in under 3 seconds."2010 Genesis Limited Edition"
by: Karim Rashid

Coming in various colours you can find one that fits your kitchen decor.
Of course, something as quirky as this they dragged in
Karim Rashit Rashid. (Dislike of this man continues from first year).
Either how he made it a little funkier with his well known blobs.

If sparkling water just isn't enough for you.
You are welcome to buy SODASTREAM compatible syrups:
cola, lemon-lime, pink grapefruit, red berry mix, apple,
orange (which also come in diet) & even make your own ENERGY DRINKS.
Each syrup can make up to 12L of soda before needing a refill.

Now the question is, is Cola syrup just as good as Coca-Cola?
Starting @ $169 CAD. You can buy cases of sugar rush inducing goodness.

contain my 4% goodness.

2 nights ago, I encountered a difficult situation,

one of which I presume many of us have been in before.

"What do you do with a beer you can't finish?"

Sadly I was holding a tallboy and a 710ml Bud. Neither one of these options could have been rescued by this bright little invention.



These silicone beer caps will keep your beer fresh even after opening them.
For 8 bucks you get 6 of them in different colours.

...Although I just realized...when do we EVER have beer left over?

caffeinated.... preggers test?

The necessary evil in the world has now evolved into a new form. It has evolved from the "white cup with hints of that glorious green" to... this... pregancy test mini bat thing. Don't get me wrong, I think its a brilliant idea and i'm probably just wired differently to see that ...object ...immediately. If we ever though popping into coffee shops was easy, this is even easier.
1.Boil water
2. Put the stick in.
3. Mix.

This ONE stick has your milk, coffee AND sugar. the whole thing is DISSOLVABLE. Perf for the lazy/time-constrainted people of the world. The thing i imagine looks like a pocky stick... or candy i suppose regardless of how plasticy it looks in the photos.

Possibly the speediest caffeine prep system in the world. & in all honesty it actually doesnt look so bad. Things tend to look like things-- it happens.

Inspired by the 1.5 hr long "yum cha"/aka/tea ceremony this morning. I decided to blog a little about this caffeinated goodness.

LOVE it. May be too much work in manufacturing for it to be mass produced =(.
